COLUMBUS:' TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 14. The I ono I'd If at Election. The Stntrtman of yesterday, contained over a column oi jubilant mil Ices of tho recent election in Connecticut, which it had culled with grave cut) from hh mauy of Its associate Loco-; foco compeers in Yankee land. It n quired a col- j urnn of such "tuft' to make out even llie shadow of avlctorj for Loculocoism in Old Connecticut. The Republicans have curried the whole Stalo ticket and uih branches of the Legislature the latter by IncieaHed mnjoriiies. The Republicans, we regret to say, lose two memueisof Congrim uiiu of them by only turn vote?. The day of the election was oue ol Btorm, and the vote wan a vcty light oue. The Republican voto wan some niito thousand lew than that given tor Frkxont, and the Uemocraiio vote wus about three thousand less thau thai given to Iluchauan. Death ok Prop.

A late number of thu Charleston Mtr-cwy contains a letter from that great Democratic patriot, Preston S. BrookH, written to a Georgia gentleman, under dt te ol September 6. Mr. Brooks therein mentions that ho will unwillingly support Mr. Buchanan, much "preferring lo have the sectional lsuc sternly made," and asserts: We of thu North aud outb are no louyer tho same people, and our political exirtencu is as intoieraiiiit t' me as tliu laultd uuiou oi me living aud dead bodies." Such Is thu nationality of Southern Democ racy. WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 15 THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 16. The BaDuuet lo Col. Sltdary Tbe banquet given to Col. Medary last evening, by bis fellow citizens of Ohio, waa one of the most successful meetings ol tbe kind we have ever attended. Many of tbe most prominent men of the State were present, and many more would have been there, If the event had taken place at a time when our Courts were not In session. As It was, we think it will be an epoch in the political and social history ot Ohio. About two hundred gentlemen and la dies sat down at tho tables. The bill of fare prepared by tbe excellent host of the American was ample and complete. Tbe tables Were ar ranged and decorated In a style not to be surpassed.Governor Chase, tho President of the evening, occupied the seat at the bead of the middle table, on his right sat tbe guest of tbe evening, tho Governor of the Territory ot Minnesota, on blB left, tbe Hon, George W. Manypcnny, late of the Indian Bureau at Washington. The Vice President! were Chief Justice Bartley, of the Supreme Court; Hon. Lester Taylcr, the able and distinguished Senator from Geauga; Judge Thurman ol this city, formerly member of Congress Irom the Ross district, and late a Judge of the Supreme Court; aud Mr. Reinhart, editor of tbe IVettbote, of Columbus. Tbe readers of the toasts were the editor of this paper and General Gciger of Columbus. The scats were all Oiled, and thero was (torn the beginning to the end a feeling uf personal kindness and respect pervailing the entire company, which mutt have been, aud we have no doubt, was gratifying, especially to the guest of the evening. Among those present from abroad was our esteemed friend, Mr. De-frees of Indiana, long and favorably known as the editor of that sterling paper tbe Indianapolis State Journal. After tho good things ot tho table bad been appropriately "dispensed with," Governor Chase arose aud in one ot those pertinent and appropriate speeches for which no one is more justly known than himself, opened thu Intellectual festivities of the evening, lie concluded with reading the first regular toast as follows: "Our Gut tt Asa citizen, zealous In tho welfare ol our State, as a man, generous aud a keen aud vigorous opponent: a warm kind- A.

Wo learu from tho Cleveland papers, lhat tho notorious Townsend, who committed somsuy murders aud robberies In Canada West, some two years since, was arrested in that city, ou Saturday night, and lodged In jail.

Medary arose to respond to it, he was evi dently considerably affected. He spoke about twenty minutes, and gave atkcioh ol early times In Ohio, ai.d ol the rise and progress of Western civiliztuon. He also spoke of bis career as an editor, and of Ihe asperities of political life, which he had lived long enough lo believe might very well be omitted, or at 1 aat, very much soltened. Tho speech was appropriate aud was warmly received. The following were thu succeeding toatts: KEOULAH TOASTS, The Preslden1, Senate and House ol Representatives ot the Untied States.

One ol the most pleasant things of Ibe evening was un original song, composed and sung by tbe tditor of tbe Columbus Uaxttte, Governor John Grelner.

Mi Marshall has much experience as an editor, and wu have no doubt will sustain tbe character of the paper lor ability, which It bas so long held. The Canal Bill, This important bll was defeated by a email vote In the Uouse last evening. Had tbe friends of tbe bill been in their seats It would have received tbe Constitutional majority ; aa It was, It had a msjorlty of seven, but It lacked five of tbe oonltltutlonal requirement. Tbe amendments to tho bill, which were adopted, raUIng tbe minimum price to three millions tlx hundred thousand dollars was a virtual defeat of tbe bill, for no company would ba likely to give that sum for works which have produced no profit for some time back, and which run the State In debt last year some seventy thousand dollars, exclusive ot the Interest upon the eost ol them. Ihe Adjournment. The Republican Legislature of Ohio will probably bring Its labors to a close to-morrow, when the members will again go back to their constituents, and receive their reward either as faithful or anfalthlul servants. We Intend hereafter to speak of the action of that body, in a fair aud candid manner, and review their acts. The Democratic papers, with hardly an ex ception, have condemned In gross, and without discrimination, the acts ot the entire body. which sort of criticism Is always unfair, and carries with It but little weight, with men who have the mental cuergy to investigate and judge for themselves. Whatever may be said in regard to the publlo ucts of this Legislature, one thing la ci-rtalu tbu members as a body have borne themselves, both in aud out of the Capital, as gentlemen of character, und have exhibited alw tys tbe possession ol high moral virtues. They have not "corrupted the youth, nor introduced strange gods Into the city." With much that they have done, wo must fully accord. The law in regard to the use ot our jails for tbe imprisonment ot fugitive slaves, und the Senate bill which is now before the House, and which we hope will become a law, to prevent sluveboldiug In Ohio, shows lhat they have reflected tliu sentiments of the people upon the great paramount question of Human Libel ty. Their action iu regard to tbe Library clause of the School Law, we regard as one of the veiy worst nets that has beeu committed. Thu formation of School Libraries, Ib a practical question, and one which, If carried out, would soon have vindicated itself, and become one of tbe most salutary, as well as the most popular features ol our School Law. There uro thousands and teus of thousands of our youth who hunger and thirst after koowledge, and to whom these School Libraries would have been aB so many louutalns of living waters. It Is cruel therefore, to deny them these sources of mental Irrigation, and to permit the fallow fields of mind to grow up unimproved, and to be covered with Ihe brush and brambles of iguo- rance. Wu ca.inot believe the tax payers of Ohio are so uieuu aud parsimonious as to object to tbe assessment o' a small tax upon their worldly treasures for thu establishment of these School Libraries. Ou the contrary, we believe that they would bavo paid tbls tax with freer will than any other that bas been imposed upon them by Ihu Legislature. This subject will be an iBsue iu tbe next canvass, and we shall en deavor to do our humble part In electing to the next Legislature mun who will carry out In good faith this provision ol tho school law. The Issue to HIssourL The St. Louis Republican of the 10th Inst., has a long article upon the recent election In that city, and tbe effect it will have upon tbe future polities of Missouri. The Utpubluan Is tbe great organ of the slave power in that Slate. It says : " An Emancipation party now appears before the peoplo, to contend for supremacy In this State. There will be there oan be so long as thiB question absorbs all others no other issue. Its decision Ib Imposed upon tbe voters by a necessity which admits of no evasion, and it is to be tested in the election for Governor In August next. Had the resolutions of the Legislature beensulfered to stand just as they are on the statute book, this necessity might not have arisen. But a party has appeared In ibis city and State, which declares that aieitatton of the qutilion $hall never etate until Mittouri i$ a Free State. Tbls is tbe Issue presented to tbe People of Missouri to be decided iu August next, ana mat issue wo, at least, are prepared to meet. Ju theoitv ot St. Louts the Emanci pation party is triumphant, aud now we appeal to tbe State for a verdict, whether they are in favor ol Emancipation or not. "We appeal to them to say, whether tbey are willing to giro up fifty millions of properly without compensAlioD without any provision being made lor the remuneration of tbe owners without auy provision being made to improve the condition ot the persons thus emancipated whether they are to stiybcre, or to be sent abroad, and if so who will pay this expense and aside Irom any calculation being mudo as to the oust of this great revolution in the social condition of the Stale. This is the question lo he decided In the election for Governor next August," We believe Mr. Buchanan, in bis late Inaugural, congratulated tbu country upn tho fact that slavery agitation bad oeused, and that henceforth we were to have no more of it. Poor old gentleman! The discussion and agitation of Ibis matter ot slavery has only lairly com me need For Ihe first time in many yours, ihu question has been transferred to a slave State.

Taney lo 1813 vs. Tnnry In 1851, Chief Justice Tanky turns Dred Scott out ot Court on tbe rouml lhat he Is a negro and a slave, and consequently not a citizen und uut entitled to sue lu the U. S. Courts, even to recover his freedom the Court having no jurisdiction In sucb cas-. s. The best answer to this is Chief Justice Taney's own decision in a similar case, that came before bim In 1843. James Asb, a Maryland negro ami slave, sued for his freedom iu the Circuit Court of the Dis trict ol Columbia, as Dred Scott did In that ol Missouri, The oase was in like manner oarrled up to the U. S. Supreme Court. But It met with a different reception and a different decis ion. Mr. Chief Justice Taney delivered the opln loii of the Court. (Wo quote from William w. Ah, Howard's Reports, vol. 1, pp. 12, 13, 14.) "This case," said his honor, "is brrughthere by writ of error from tbe Circuit Court, and cuine before that Court upon a petition for free- it appeared upon the trial that the petl dom.

The Northern men are only ripening the Southern mind tor the alternative of reducing agaiu to bondage the free negroes whom we have emancipated in a mistaken leeling of nu inanity. Disagreeable as this alternative may be to the South, It is rupidly becoming more and more a measure of necessity aud protection against the effect of Abolitionist tamperings with the bWcksof Ihe South. There are in Virginia alone upwards ot 54.000 free negroes, who are lor tliu most part drones on our society. which if employi d southward in the cultivation of cotton, would add many millions ot dollars (o our annual product ot national weaitn, ana who, if sold at tbe moderate .sum of $400 a bead lor tbebeuelltof the istste Treasury, would produce a lund ol 0,utiu,uuu lor tne prosccu-1 tiou ol internal Improvements. -- Richmond (lra.) Examiner, fit). 6, Extra Billy Smith, when he was Governor of Virginia, urged the same wicked proposition, but It was not seconded by the people of tho Old Dominion, Doubtless Pandemonium re joices over the suggestions of Ibe Examiner, and would raise a shout ot exultation to sue It effected; but common humanity, not to say Uhrlstiaulty, cries out against It. If all "drones" in Southern society should ba sold Into slavery, and "employed southward In the cultivation of cotioii," we apprehend there would be o msid erable of a stampede in some quarters, not only among tho negroes, but the editor of the Richmond Examiner might find some ot bis relatives seeking the balmy air of tbe "sunny South."

Paul, produce deal- tioner was the property of Mary Ann Green. fluid, of Prince George's County, in tbo State of Maryland, who died In 1824, having first duly made her last will and lestament, whereby, among other things, she bequeathed the petitioner, with sundry other slaves, to ber uepnew, u.

G. T. ureeoiieio iook possession ot the petitioner, (James Ash) until December. 1839. when bo sold the petitioner to tbe defendant, (Williams) and the petition for freedom was filed shortly utter mu saiu."

The Republicans have curried the whole Stalo ticket and uih branches of the Legislature the latter by IncieaHed mnjoriiies. The Republicans, we regret to say, lose two memueisof Congrim uiiu of them by only turn vote?. The day of the election was oue ol Btorm, and the vote wan a vcty light oue. The Republican voto wan some niito thousand lew than that given tor Frkxont, and the Uemocraiio vote wus about three thousand less thau thai given to Iluchauan. Death ok Prop.

Medary last evening, by bis fellow citizens of Ohio, waa one of the most successful meetings ol tbe kind we have ever attended. Many of tbe most prominent men of the State were present, and many more would have been there, If the event had taken place at a time when our Courts were not In session. As It was, we think it will be an epoch in the political and social history ot Ohio. About two hundred gentlemen and la dies sat down at tho tables. The bill of fare prepared by tbe excellent host of the American was ample and complete. Tbe tables Were ar ranged and decorated In a style not to be surpassed.Governor Chase, tho President of the evening, occupied the seat at the bead of the middle table, on his right sat tbe guest of tbe evening, tho Governor of the Territory ot Minnesota, on blB left, tbe Hon, George W. Manypcnny, late of the Indian Bureau at Washington. The Vice President! were Chief Justice Bartley, of the Supreme Court; Hon. Lester Taylcr, the able and distinguished Senator from Geauga; Judge Thurman ol this city, formerly member of Congress Irom the Ross district, and late a Judge of the Supreme Court; aud Mr. Reinhart, editor of tbe IVettbote, of Columbus. Tbe readers of the toasts were the editor of this paper and General Gciger of Columbus. The scats were all Oiled, and thero was (torn the beginning to the end a feeling uf personal kindness and respect pervailing the entire company, which mutt have been, aud we have no doubt, was gratifying, especially to the guest of the evening. Among those present from abroad was our esteemed friend, Mr. De-frees of Indiana, long and favorably known as the editor of that sterling paper tbe Indianapolis State Journal. After tho good things ot tho table bad been appropriately "dispensed with," Governor Chase arose aud in one ot those pertinent and appropriate speeches for which no one is more justly known than himself, opened thu Intellectual festivities of the evening, lie concluded with reading the first regular toast as follows: "Our Gut tt Asa citizen, zealous In tho welfare ol our State, as a man, generous aud a keen aud vigorous opponent: a warm kind- A.

Medary arose to respond to it, he was evi dently considerably affected. He spoke about twenty minutes, and gave atkcioh ol early times In Ohio, ai.d ol the rise and progress of Western civiliztuon. He also spoke of bis career as an editor, and of Ihe asperities of political life, which he had lived long enough lo believe might very well be omitted, or at 1 aat, very much soltened. Tho speech was appropriate aud was warmly received. The following were thu succeeding toatts: KEOULAH TOASTS, The Preslden1, Senate and House ol Representatives ot the Untied States.

One ol the most pleasant things of Ibe evening was un original song, composed and sung by tbe tditor of tbe Columbus Uaxttte, Governor John Grelner.

Mi Marshall has much experience as an editor, and wu have no doubt will sustain tbe character of the paper lor ability, which It bas so long held. The Canal Bill, This important bll was defeated by a email vote In the Uouse last evening. Had tbe friends of tbe bill been in their seats It would have received tbe Constitutional majority ; aa It was, It had a msjorlty of seven, but It lacked five of tbe oonltltutlonal requirement. Tbe amendments to tho bill, which were adopted, raUIng tbe minimum price to three millions tlx hundred thousand dollars was a virtual defeat of tbe bill, for no company would ba likely to give that sum for works which have produced no profit for some time back, and which run the State In debt last year some seventy thousand dollars, exclusive ot the Interest upon the eost ol them. Ihe Adjournment. The Republican Legislature of Ohio will probably bring Its labors to a close to-morrow, when the members will again go back to their constituents, and receive their reward either as faithful or anfalthlul servants. We Intend hereafter to speak of the action of that body, in a fair aud candid manner, and review their acts. The Democratic papers, with hardly an ex ception, have condemned In gross, and without discrimination, the acts ot the entire body. which sort of criticism Is always unfair, and carries with It but little weight, with men who have the mental cuergy to investigate and judge for themselves. Whatever may be said in regard to the publlo ucts of this Legislature, one thing la ci-rtalu tbu members as a body have borne themselves, both in aud out of the Capital, as gentlemen of character, und have exhibited alw tys tbe possession ol high moral virtues. They have not "corrupted the youth, nor introduced strange gods Into the city." With much that they have done, wo must fully accord. The law in regard to the use ot our jails for tbe imprisonment ot fugitive slaves, und the Senate bill which is now before the House, and which we hope will become a law, to prevent sluveboldiug In Ohio, shows lhat they have reflected tliu sentiments of the people upon the great paramount question of Human Libel ty. Their action iu regard to tbe Library clause of the School Law, we regard as one of the veiy worst nets that has beeu committed. Thu formation of School Libraries, Ib a practical question, and one which, If carried out, would soon have vindicated itself, and become one of tbe most salutary, as well as the most popular features ol our School Law. There uro thousands and teus of thousands of our youth who hunger and thirst after koowledge, and to whom these School Libraries would have been aB so many louutalns of living waters. It Is cruel therefore, to deny them these sources of mental Irrigation, and to permit the fallow fields of mind to grow up unimproved, and to be covered with Ihe brush and brambles of iguo- rance. Wu ca.inot believe the tax payers of Ohio are so uieuu aud parsimonious as to object to tbe assessment o' a small tax upon their worldly treasures for thu establishment of these School Libraries. Ou the contrary, we believe that they would bavo paid tbls tax with freer will than any other that bas been imposed upon them by Ihu Legislature. This subject will be an iBsue iu tbe next canvass, and we shall en deavor to do our humble part In electing to the next Legislature mun who will carry out In good faith this provision ol tho school law. The Issue to HIssourL The St. Louis Republican of the 10th Inst., has a long article upon the recent election In that city, and tbe effect it will have upon tbe future polities of Missouri. The Utpubluan Is tbe great organ of the slave power in that Slate. It says : " An Emancipation party now appears before the peoplo, to contend for supremacy In this State. There will be there oan be so long as thiB question absorbs all others no other issue. Its decision Ib Imposed upon tbe voters by a necessity which admits of no evasion, and it is to be tested in the election for Governor In August next. Had the resolutions of the Legislature beensulfered to stand just as they are on the statute book, this necessity might not have arisen. But a party has appeared In ibis city and State, which declares that aieitatton of the qutilion $hall never etate until Mittouri i$ a Free State. Tbls is tbe Issue presented to tbe People of Missouri to be decided iu August next, ana mat issue wo, at least, are prepared to meet. Ju theoitv ot St. Louts the Emanci pation party is triumphant, aud now we appeal to tbe State for a verdict, whether they are in favor ol Emancipation or not. "We appeal to them to say, whether tbey are willing to giro up fifty millions of properly without compensAlioD without any provision being made lor the remuneration of tbe owners without auy provision being made to improve the condition ot the persons thus emancipated whether they are to stiybcre, or to be sent abroad, and if so who will pay this expense and aside Irom any calculation being mudo as to the oust of this great revolution in the social condition of the Stale. This is the question lo he decided In the election for Governor next August," We believe Mr. Buchanan, in bis late Inaugural, congratulated tbu country upn tho fact that slavery agitation bad oeused, and that henceforth we were to have no more of it.

Courts, even to recover his freedom the Court having no jurisdiction In sucb cas-. s. The best answer to this is Chief Justice Taney's own decision in a similar case, that came before bim In 1843. James Asb, a Maryland negro ami slave, sued for his freedom iu the Circuit Court of the Dis trict ol Columbia, as Dred Scott did In that ol Missouri, The oase was in like manner oarrled up to the U. S. Supreme Court. But It met with a different reception and a different decis ion. Mr. Chief Justice Taney delivered the opln loii of the Court. (Wo quote from William w.

The Northern men are only ripening the Southern mind tor the alternative of reducing agaiu to bondage the free negroes whom we have emancipated in a mistaken leeling of nu inanity.

There are in Virginia alone upwards ot 54.000 free negroes, who are lor tliu most part drones on our society. which if employi d southward in the cultivation of cotton, would add many millions ot dollars (o our annual product ot national weaitn, ana who, if sold at tbe moderate .sum of $400 a bead lor tbebeuelltof the istste Treasury, would produce a lund ol 0,utiu,uuu lor tne prosccu-1 tiou ol internal Improvements. -- Richmond (lra.)

If all "drones" in Southern society should ba sold Into slavery, and "employed southward In the cultivation of cotioii," we apprehend there would be o msid erable of a stampede in some quarters, not only among tho negroes, but the editor of the Richmond Examiner might find some ot bis relatives seeking the balmy air of tbe "sunny South."
